My name is Ryan, my user name is Murdock on both the forum and on IRC. I am located in KC, Missouri. I have been interested in technology all of my life, though for the last year have been reading up on and studying/playing with linux. I watched the google video and made the purchasing decision with Fiire November of 2008 to 710. I have a dev SATA HD I boot up on for testing the newer releases. My setup at home is below. <br />

<br />
== General Info ==<br />
<br />
While the Foxconn nT330i does work well, it's not ideal for HD content as it only has 256MB video card memory, so it does struggle with VDPAU processing of HD content and xv processing of it as well.<br />
<br />
== Foxconn nT330i - 1004 Setup ==<br />
<br />
Via trac ticket http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1265 - the Foxconn NT330i should now be plug and play for 1004 and should not require any additional steps for configuration.<br />
<br />
If any issues are noticed please log a trac ticket!<br />
<br />
== Foxconn nT330i - 810 Setup ==<br />
<br />
Note: <MD#> has to be replaced by the mediadirector number.<br />
<br />
Note: below is based on having only one connection to TV being HDMI<br />
<br />
'''Prepare the core;'''<br />
<br />
The LAN controller Attansic requires module atl1c. Without it I have kernel panic during an attempt to PXE boot. Way to get the nT330i to work is also described in wiki page http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC, section Modify the media director initial ramdisk.<br />
<br />
cd /<br />
mkdir AR81Family<br />
cd AR81Family<br />
wget http://lnx.sensibile.it/files/foxconn/AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
tar -xvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
<br />
'''Build the atl1c kernel module'''<br />
<br />
Modify .src/makefile changing "DRIVER_NAME = atl1e" to "DRIVER_NAME = atl1c";<br />
<br />
cd src<br />
vim Makefile<br />
<br />
Save the file and start building;<br />
<br />
cd ..<br />
make<br />
make install<br />
<br />
You'll get some error messages but I noticed still atl1c.ko is build. atl1kc is located in ./src<br />
<br />
cp /AR81Family/src/atl1c.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the initial diskless image<br />
<br />
modprobe atl1c<br />
<br />
If the above gives you fatal errors an alternative is: "insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko"<br />
<br />
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh<br />
<br />
'''MD Time'''<br />
<br />
After this you can connect your MD and take it for its first boot.....<br />
<br />
When the initial MD has been created the first boot "real" boot will fail (blue ubuntu bar stops moving) due to the fact the MD image has no atl1c module so we have to add that;<br />
<br />
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko <br />
<br />
<br />
Chroot into the new MD:<br />
<br />
cd /usr/pluto/diskless/<br />
chroot <MD#><br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/modules<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the image;<br />
<br />
depmod<br />
cd /boot<br />
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`<br />
exit<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: do not forget that if you recreate this MD you have to do the above ("MD Time") again before it will fully start.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Finishing off'''<br />
<br />
The system will do a couple of reboots and will at the end put you into AVWizard which does not appear (and do not forget; give it some time). You can check if AVWizard is up by logging in to the MD and run "top". AVWizard should be in the list.<br />
<br />
Tip 1) if you press "3" in AVWizard (HDMI2) and WAIT!!! -> voila!!<br />
<br />
Tip 2) HDMI sound? In alsamixer unmute input IEC958 by pressing "m" if selected.<br />
<br />
'''Extra/Quirks'''<br />
<br />
To have wake on lan working change the setting in the bios for "deep sleep" into disabled and change wake up by PCIE to enabled.<br />
<br />
Within Mythtv the Netbox freezes when jumping forward or backward in a recording. The way to get around this is to add pci=nomsi to the kernel parameters [http://nick.kreucher.net/blog/2010/saga-of-the-tiny-mythtv-frontend-part-i/ Saga of the tiny mythtv frontend] and [http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120710 nvidia forum]<br />
<br />
In a terminal window type:<br />
<br />
ls /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<br />
<br />
You should see a file named after the MAC address of your MD. Edit that file<br />
<br />
sudo vim /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<mac_address><br />
<br />
Inside the file you'll see a line that looks like this:<br />
<br />
APPEND initrd=50/initrd.img ramdisk=10240 rw root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/50 quiet splash<br />
<br />
Modify that line by adding "pci=nomsi" to the end. This will make the line look like this:<br />
<br />
APPEND initrd=<MD#>/initrd.img ramdisk=10240 rw root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#> quiet splash pci=nomsi</div>Murdockhttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=Hardware&diff=28833Hardware2011-10-15T00:53:37Z<p>Murdock: /* Graphics card */</p>

[[Image:Diagram1.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Connectivity possible with LinuxMCE]]<br />
<br />
<br />
It is possible to use LinuxMCE as a standalone Home Theater PC. A basic LinuxMCE system, however, can also be set up with a relatively modest PC and networking hardware. More advanced (though not necessarily expensive) systems can work with virtually any device that allows some form of [[:Category:Input|input/output control]] capability (including Ethernet, infrared, or RS232 devices) and with devices using a [[:Category:Automation|home automation]] protocol (such as X10 or Insteon).<br />
<br />

* Check out the [[:Category:Newbie_Packs|newbie pack category]] for an organized list of newbie packs<br />
* Check out [[LinuxMCE_Products|LinuxMCE Products]] for a list of products made specifically for LinuxMCE<br />
<br />
<br style="clear:both;"/><br />
{| align="right"<br />
| __TOC__<br />
|}<br />
=LinuxMCE hardware terms=<br />
<br />
Here is a list of LinuxMCE-specific hardware terms.<br />
<br />
*[[Core]] - a single PC which is the central server and processor for your LinuxMCE system.<br />
*[[Media Director]] - a PC that is locally connected to your entertainment center AV devices and to the Core through the LAN.<br />
*[[Hybrid]] - a single PC that serves the functions of both the Core and a Media Director.<br />
*[[Orbiter]] - a user interface to control the system, running on a Media Director or elsewhere, for instance on a lightweight portable device such as a web pad.<br />
<br />
=Minimum Core (PC) Requirements=<br />
<br />
A [[Core]] server, a [[Media Director]], and a [[Hybrid]] all have significantly different hardware requirements. See the specific sections on each for more detail. The guidelines below are very generic and are meant only to suggest that many systems can potentially be used with LinuxMCE.<br />
<br />
==CPU==<br />
A LinuxMCE Core-only machine can be run on a slower CPU (such as a P3) only if media encoding/decoding is not done on the core. However, running the database, web server, and other system services can put a reasonable load on your CPU, so for the Core (or hybrid), bigger is better. In contrast, Media Directors have much less CPU requirements, but have other requirements.<br />
<br />
* A PIII/733MHz system can encode one video stream using the MPEG-4 codec using 480x480 capture resolution. This does not allow for live TV watching, but does allow for encoding video and then watching it later.<br />
* A developer states that his AMD1800+ system can almost encode two MPEG-4 video streams and watch one program simultaneously.<br />
* A PIII/800MHz system with 512MB RAM can encode one video stream using the RTjpeg codec with 480x480 capture resolution and play it back simultaneously, thereby allowing live TV watching.<br />
* A dual Celeron/450MHz is able to view a 480x480 MPEG-4/3300kbps file created on a different system with 30% CPU usage.<br />
* A P4 2.4GHz machine can encode two 3300Kbps 480x480 MPEG-4 files and simultaneously serve content to a remote frontend.<br />
<br />
==Motherboard==<br />
Any Linux-compatible motherboard (95% chance yours will work) will run smoothly, give or take a few features (SPDIF, etc.). See the [[:Category:Mainboards|mainboards category]] for more information and experience with these.<br />
<br />
==RAM==<br />
For a bare minimum core, 256MB+ of RAM is needed. For machines encoding/decoding media and/or running desktop applications 512MB+ is needed for smooth function. 1GB at least is recommended. (4GB+ will require a 64-bit OS (now available in LinuxMCE 0710 and later versions)).<br />
<br />
==Hard Drive==<br />
Each Core PC's hard drive(s) should have at least 4 GB (to install the OS). You will need additional media storage for network-boot images, PVR storage, etc. However, with NAS, external hard drives, and extra internal hard drives either on the Core or other Media Director PCs, the system's overall storage capacity can easily be increased.<br />
<br />
==DVD/CD-ROM==<br />
A DVD drive is required on the Core PC if installing with the Quick Install DVD. However, the LinuxMCE system can also be installed on the Core from CDs (and therefore only a CD-ROM is required), as long as the Core is not going to be used as a hybrid. Each Media Director PC ought to have its own DVD drive, in order to insert and watch DVDs locally.<br />
<br />
==Graphics card==<br />
The graphics cards that work best with LinuxMCE are those with an NVIDIA chipset. It is recommended to use one from a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 to a GeForce 8500. (Others may work, you may have to test them or look at [[:Category:Graphic_Cards|Graphics Cards category]] to see if someone's already tested yours, or one you're considering purchasing).<br />
<br />
'''Suggestion:''' use motherboard with onboard NVIDIA GPU and one that has at least 512MB of memory for VDPAU usage for viewing HD content (up to 1080p).<br />
<br />
It is not recommended to use ATI cards because the drivers have some bugs that LinuxMCE is using. ATI cards may work with the standard [[Selecting_the_Right_UI#UI1|UI1 interface]] but they aren't officially supported.<br />
<br />
See the section [[Display_Drivers|Display Drivers]] for the installation steps of the drivers<br />
<br />
==TV Video Capture Cards==<br />
<br />
Also see the [[:Category:TV Cards|TV Cards Category]]<br />
<br />
*pcHDTV manufactures and supplies cards just for Linux that provide HDTV and analog capabilities. An example is the [http://www.pchdtv.com/ HD-5500]. <br />
<br />
*Plextor ConvertX PVR devices are supported through [http://www.plextor.com/english/support/LinuxSDK.htm Linux drivers]. MythTV can use the Plextor to capture hardware encoded MPEG-4, lowering CPU requirements for similar functions.<br />
<br />
*[[Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2]] ([http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/ Linux driver available]) emulates a PVR-x50 card.<br />
<br />
*IP Recorder (RTSP, RTS, UDP)<br />
<br />
:MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264 internet TS stream recording is supported using the IPTV recorder in MythTV. This recorder expects the channels to be supplied as an m3u playlist. If your DSL/Fiber provider supplies television service, but does not provide an m3u playlist for the channels, you can construct one for your own use. You do not need to download it from the same server as the streams themselves, and can also read it from a file if this is more convenient.<br />
<br />
:If your provider uses 5C encryption on a particular channel, you won't be able to get any content.<br />
*DBoxII or other devices running Neutrino<br />
<br />
:You may use the Ethernet port of a DBoxII or a similar device to capture MPEG2. Your set-top box has to be running the Neutrino GUI.<br />
<br />
*USB Capture Devices<br />
<br />
==Sound Card==<br />
<br />
Also see the [[:Category:Audio|Audio Category]]<br />
<br />
The system needs a [[:Category:Audio|sound card]] or an on-board equivalent on the motherboard to play back and, in most cases, to record sound. Any sound card that can be operated by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture ALSA] (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) kernel modules will work with MythTV. However, some cards and drivers will provide better quality or compatibility than others. In particular, many audio devices included on motherboards can be problematic.<br />
<br />
A common practice for capturing the audio associated with a video is to run a cable from the "audio out" of the video capture card to the "line in" on the sound card. Some video capture cards, however, provide on-board audio capabilities that work with the Linux kernel btaudio module. The need for a cable is eliminated for these cards. When multiple capture cards are used in a single PC, this capability becomes important, so that each capture card will not need its own sound card.<br />
<br />
A separate sound card is still required for playback when using btaudio. Often, audio recorded in this way will be mono only. See the [http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/BTTV btaudio] section for more information.<br />
<br />
==Miscellaneous interfaces==<br />
*LinuxMCE supports the Sony VGP-XL1B CD/DVD jukebox (drive + changer), as well as the compatible PowerFile models. These jukeboxes require a FireWire connector.<br />
<br />
===FireWire===<br />
*You may use the [[FireWire]] output of the [[Motorola DCT6200]] or the [[Motorola SA3250|SA3250]].<br />
<br />
<br />
=Minimum Home Automation Requirements=<br />
<br />
Easiest way to get started with [[Home Automation]] is to use [[Z-Wave]] because it works wirelessly so you don't need to rewire your home.<br />

[[Image:Diagram1.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Connectivity possible with LinuxMCE]]<br />
<br />
<br />
It is possible to use LinuxMCE as a standalone Home Theater PC. A basic LinuxMCE system, however, can also be set up with a relatively modest PC and networking hardware. More advanced (though not necessarily expensive) systems can work with virtually any device that allows some form of [[:Category:Input|input/output control]] capability (including Ethernet, infrared, or RS232 devices) and with devices using a [[:Category:Automation|home automation]] protocol (such as X10 or Insteon).<br />

=LinuxMCE hardware terms=<br />
<br />
Here is a list of LinuxMCE-specific hardware terms.<br />
<br />
*[[Core]] - a single PC which is the central server and processor for your LinuxMCE system.<br />
*[[Media Director]] - a PC that is locally connected to your entertainment center AV devices and to the Core through the LAN.<br />
*[[Hybrid]] - a single PC that serves the functions of both the Core and a Media Director.<br />
*[[Orbiter]] - a user interface to control the system, running on a Media Director or elsewhere, for instance on a lightweight portable device such as a web pad.<br />
<br />
=Minimum Core (PC) Requirements=<br />
<br />
A [[Core]] server, a [[Media Director]], and a [[Hybrid]] all have significantly different hardware requirements. See the specific sections on each for more detail. The guidelines below are very generic and are meant only to suggest that many systems can potentially be used with LinuxMCE.<br />
<br />
==CPU==<br />
A LinuxMCE Core-only machine can be run on a slower CPU (such as a P3) only if media encoding/decoding is not done on the core. However, running the database, web server, and other system services can put a reasonable load on your CPU, so for the Core (or hybrid), bigger is better. In contrast, Media Directors have much less CPU requirements, but have other requirements.<br />
<br />
* A PIII/733MHz system can encode one video stream using the MPEG-4 codec using 480x480 capture resolution. This does not allow for live TV watching, but does allow for encoding video and then watching it later.<br />
* A developer states that his AMD1800+ system can almost encode two MPEG-4 video streams and watch one program simultaneously.<br />
* A PIII/800MHz system with 512MB RAM can encode one video stream using the RTjpeg codec with 480x480 capture resolution and play it back simultaneously, thereby allowing live TV watching.<br />
* A dual Celeron/450MHz is able to view a 480x480 MPEG-4/3300kbps file created on a different system with 30% CPU usage.<br />
* A P4 2.4GHz machine can encode two 3300Kbps 480x480 MPEG-4 files and simultaneously serve content to a remote frontend.<br />
<br />
==Motherboard==<br />
Any Linux-compatible motherboard (95% chance yours will work) will run smoothly, give or take a few features (SPDIF, etc.). See the [[:Category:Mainboards|mainboards category]] for more information and experience with these.<br />
<br />
==RAM==<br />
For a bare minimum core, 256MB+ of RAM is needed. For machines encoding/decoding media and/or running desktop applications 512MB+ is needed for smooth function. 1GB at least is recommended. (4GB+ will require a 64-bit OS (now available in LinuxMCE 0710 and later versions)).<br />
<br />
==Hard Drive==<br />
Each Core PC's hard drive(s) should have at least 4 GB (to install the OS). You will need additional media storage for network-boot images, PVR storage, etc. However, with NAS, external hard drives, and extra internal hard drives either on the Core or other Media Director PCs, the system's overall storage capacity can easily be increased.<br />
<br />
==DVD/CD-ROM==<br />
A DVD drive is required on the Core PC if installing with the Quick Install DVD. However, the LinuxMCE system can also be installed on the Core from CDs (and therefore only a CD-ROM is required), as long as the Core is not going to be used as a hybrid. Each Media Director PC ought to have its own DVD drive, in order to insert and watch DVDs locally.<br />
<br />
==Graphics card==<br />
The graphics cards that work best with LinuxMCE are those with an NVIDIA chipset. It is recommended to use one from a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 to a GeForce 8500. (Others may work, you may have to test them or look at [[:Category:Graphic_Cards|Graphics Cards category]] to see if someone's already tested yours, or one you're considering purchasing).<br />
<br />
We'd also recommend utilizing an nVidia video card with at least 512MB of memory for VDPAU usage for viewing HD content (up to 1080p).<br />
<br />
'''Suggestion:''' use motherboard with onboard NVIDIA GPU like [[ASUS_M3N78-EM]] motherboard with [[NVIDIA GeForce 8300]] GPU.<br />
<br />
It is not recommended to use ATI cards because the drivers have some bugs that LinuxMCE is using. ATI cards may work with the standard [[Selecting_the_Right_UI#UI1|UI1 interface]] but they aren't officially supported.<br />
<br />
See the section [[Display_Drivers|Display Drivers]] for the installation steps of the drivers<br />
<br />
==TV Video Capture Cards==<br />
<br />
Also see the [[:Category:TV Cards|TV Cards Category]]<br />
<br />
*pcHDTV manufactures and supplies cards just for Linux that provide HDTV and analog capabilities. An example is the [http://www.pchdtv.com/ HD-5500]. <br />
<br />
*Plextor ConvertX PVR devices are supported through [http://www.plextor.com/english/support/LinuxSDK.htm Linux drivers]. MythTV can use the Plextor to capture hardware encoded MPEG-4, lowering CPU requirements for similar functions.<br />
<br />
*[[Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2]] ([http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/ Linux driver available]) emulates a PVR-x50 card.<br />
<br />
*IP Recorder (RTSP, RTS, UDP)<br />
<br />
:MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264 internet TS stream recording is supported using the IPTV recorder in MythTV. This recorder expects the channels to be supplied as an m3u playlist. If your DSL/Fiber provider supplies television service, but does not provide an m3u playlist for the channels, you can construct one for your own use. You do not need to download it from the same server as the streams themselves, and can also read it from a file if this is more convenient.<br />
<br />
:If your provider uses 5C encryption on a particular channel, you won't be able to get any content.<br />
*DBoxII or other devices running Neutrino<br />
<br />
:You may use the Ethernet port of a DBoxII or a similar device to capture MPEG2. Your set-top box has to be running the Neutrino GUI.<br />
<br />
*USB Capture Devices<br />
<br />
==Sound Card==<br />
<br />
Also see the [[:Category:Audio|Audio Category]]<br />
<br />
The system needs a [[:Category:Audio|sound card]] or an on-board equivalent on the motherboard to play back and, in most cases, to record sound. Any sound card that can be operated by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture ALSA] (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) kernel modules will work with MythTV. However, some cards and drivers will provide better quality or compatibility than others. In particular, many audio devices included on motherboards can be problematic.<br />
<br />
A common practice for capturing the audio associated with a video is to run a cable from the "audio out" of the video capture card to the "line in" on the sound card. Some video capture cards, however, provide on-board audio capabilities that work with the Linux kernel btaudio module. The need for a cable is eliminated for these cards. When multiple capture cards are used in a single PC, this capability becomes important, so that each capture card will not need its own sound card.<br />
<br />
A separate sound card is still required for playback when using btaudio. Often, audio recorded in this way will be mono only. See the [http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/BTTV btaudio] section for more information.<br />
<br />
==Miscellaneous interfaces==<br />
*LinuxMCE supports the Sony VGP-XL1B CD/DVD jukebox (drive + changer), as well as the compatible PowerFile models. These jukeboxes require a FireWire connector.<br />
<br />
===FireWire===<br />
*You may use the [[FireWire]] output of the [[Motorola DCT6200]] or the [[Motorola SA3250|SA3250]].<br />
<br />
<br />
=Minimum Home Automation Requirements=<br />
<br />
Easiest way to get started with [[Home Automation]] is to use [[Z-Wave]] because it works wirelessly so you don't need to rewire your home.<br />

<br />
= Status =<br />
reported to work by multiple users<br />
<br />
= About = <br />
This dongle is compatible with LinuxMCE, ControlThink and most other Z-Wave home control software. It uses the latest Z-Wave software, 4.27 from October 2008, with support for all the new command classes, and supports both high speed (4x 40kbps) and standard speed Z-Wave devices.<br />
<br />
What sets this USB interface apart is that it has a built in inclusion controller. You no longer need to have a separate master controller that you use to pair your Z-Wave modules, and then go through the process of replicating to transfer the data to your USB controller. Instead, just carry this USB dongle around as you turn on/off your Z-Wave modules and they are paired in one step.<br />
Be aware that you cannot include other controllers with the button. You need to use LinuxMCE or Vera for that (or any other Z-Wave software supoporting the dongle)<br />
<br />
Available in either U.S. or Euro Z-Wave frequencies.<br />
<br />
This Product is supplied to MiCasaVerde by Aeon Labs and can be bought as an [[Aeon Labs Z-Wave Interface with built-In Inclusion Remote]]<br />
<br />
= Binding =<br />
<br />
To bind new Zwave devices, just take the dongle with you after you install the device in it's position you will use it. First push the button on the dongle, and than push the bind button on the device. The dongle will go from blinking blue to solid blue for a second or so and than start blinking again, you just succesfully bound the device to this dongle.<br />
<br />
= Troubleshooting =<br />
<br />
First look in the error logs, follow logs, whole log in the webadmin under the zwave device for anything out of the ordinary.<br />
If all else fails, just delete all zwave devices from the webadmin, delete the zwave device, reload the router and plug the dongle back in to have it recognize it again. If this doesn't work go on the forum or irc channel and ask for help.<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
The Gyration GYR3101US remote (aka Gyration MCE RF Remote) is identical in style to the [[Fiire Chief]], with the exception of bezel color.<br />
<br />
The Gyration remote control uses the gyro feature just like the Fiire Chief and the Gyration mouse. (The major difference is how the remote is detected and used by LinuxMCE, of course.)<br />
<br />
The remote is now automatically detected and used by LinuxMCE, and all buttons work out of the box as they should; without modification.<br />
<br />
== Differences Between this remote and the Fiire Chief ==<br />
<br />
* No Follow Me - Not Possible<br />
* Scenario shortcuts currently are not possible without further refinement of GenericHIDInterface (see TODO below)<br />
* Lights Menu not accessible via remote currently without further refinement of GenericHIDInterface (see below)<br />

==Buttons==<br />
[[Image:Gyration_Large.jpg|right]]<br />
(From Left to right, Top to Bottom)<br />
<br />
* The clear input buttons select an input feature, and can be used to learn IR commands in the non-PC modes. This is superfluous with LinuxMCE and is not needed. Let LinuxMCE manage your IR gear instead, more intelligently.<br />
* '''The Power Button''' - Tap once to stop any playing media, tap twice to bring up the Power screen to turn off the display, to reboot or halt the media director.<br />
* '''Stop [ ]''' - Stop the currently playing media.<br />
* '''Red ()''' - the red Record button records whatever TV program is currently playing live.<br />
* '''Pause''' - The Pause button pauses any playing media.<br />
* '''Rewind''' - Rewind any playing media.<br />
** Tap for 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and 64x increments.<br />
* '''Play''' - The large play/pause button allows for easy toggling between playing and pausing media.<br />
* '''Fast Forward''' - Fast Forward any playing media.<br />
** Tap for 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and 64x increments.<br />
* '''Skip Forward/Backward''' buttons allow for quick skipping forward and backward of playing material to the next or previous playlist item.<br />
* A '''Direction Pad''' for all four major directions allows for precise manoeuvring of on-screen displays.<br />
* An '''OK''' Button selects the currently highlighted object.<br />
* Surrounding the Direction Pad are four function buttons, (from left to right, top to bottom.)<br />
** Media Button - This selects the gyro functions so you can use the gyro-mouse for manipulating the currently playing media.<br />
*** In TV mode, moving up/down selects the on-screen TV guide that can be quickly controlled by the gyro mouse.<br />
*** In Media Mode, moving up/down shows the current playlist, with the ability to quickly select any part of the playlist.<br />
*** moving left/right shows a ''jog shuttle'' so you can quickly fast forward, or rewind media.<br />
** Guide Button - This shows either the TV guide in TV mode, or the DVD menu when playing a DVD.<br />
** Back Button - This allows you to return to the previous screen. <br />
** Info Button - This shows information about the current playing TV program or playing media.<br />
<br />
Below these buttons, are easy to access '''mouse buttons for left and right mouse button''', as well as the '''middle button for enabling or disabling the mouse movement'''. Double clicking the middle button toggles the mouse movement on and off, while holding down the button and releasing it will toggle it for momentary uses.<br />
<br />
There are easy to access '''volume''' and '''channel''' rocker buttons that surround the '''Windows''' Button (which is used to display the main menu.)<br />
<br />
Convieniently placed below the '''Windows''' button is a '''Mute''' button to quickly toggle between muted and unmuted audio.<br />
<br />
Below these buttons, are the ''shortcut'' buttons to access the different types of media. We have from left to right:<br />
<br />
* Pictures<br />
* TV<br />
* Music<br />
* Video<br />
<br />
Pressing each one of these will show either the file list for the given media, or in the case of TV, start live TV.<br />
<br />
Below these buttons are a conveinient '''number pad''' for changing channels or dialing numbers or arming the security system with the PIN code<br />
'''Clear''' and '''Enter''' buttons compliment the '''number pad'''.<br />
<br />
Below these buttons are special purpose buttons which can not be used by LinuxMCE, except the DVD Menu button, which shows the DVD menu of the given DVD, or in TV, brings up the MythTV menu.</div>Murdockhttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=Silicondust_HDHomeRun&diff=28826Silicondust HDHomeRun2011-10-12T19:36:12Z<p>Murdock: </p>

== Configuring ==<br />
<br />
If you have your LinuxMCE core configured as your DHCP server, it will detect a new HDHomeRun and prompt you to scan for channels. If you are using Schedules Direct, mythfilldatabase will automatically fill in scheduling data for over-the-air (antenna) inputs. But 99.9% of cable systems do not have the types of channel mappings which MythTV can use to set up listings for you, in that case you will need to manually set the channum and XMLTVID for each channel to match those reported by the Schedules Direct channel editor. The HDHomeRun QAM channel database may be helpful for this step, see [http://www.silicondust.com/wiki/hdhomerun/channels here.]<br />
<br />
== Comcast Qam ==<br />
In an effort to automate or semi automate xmlid gathering for QAM stations I have found the following tools and finally have approx 90 qam stations with full XMLID's<br />
<br />
I will use this to try to document the process.<br />

== OTA Program Guide with Schedules Direct ==<br />
Even after setting up my HDHomerun correctly and doing a channel scan, the guide data would never get populated. Running MytTvDailyFillDatabase.sh manually would look normal - like it was downloading guide data - however, my guide would always be empty.<br />
It took a lot of research, but I finally found some instructions that helped my guide data to start working. Here is what to do:<br />
* Make a list of your OTA HD Channels.<br />
* Go to www.zap2it.com and pull up the tv listings for your area code<br />
* view the source for the guide page. You will need to find each of your channels (search for the string "&channel")<br />
* Near the "&channel" for each specific channel you want guide data for, look for "stnNum" and write down the number. Do this for each channel!<br />
* Next, you will have to update your mythconverg.channel database table. For each channel in that table, you will have to enter the appropriate stnNum in the xmlvid column.<br />
<br />
The next time the MythTvDailyFillDatase.sh runs, your guide data will now be populated!</div>Murdockhttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=Installing_1004&diff=28774Installing 10042011-10-05T14:47:59Z<p>Murdock: </p>

<br />
== Foxconn nT330i - 1004 Setup ==<br />
<br />
Via trac ticket http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1265 - the Foxconn NT330i should now be plug and play for 1004 and should not require any additional steps for configuration.<br />
<br />
If any issues are noticed please log a trac ticket!<br />
<br />
== Foxconn nT330i - 810 Setup ==<br />
<br />
Note: <MD#> has to be replaced by the mediadirector number.<br />
<br />
Note: below is based on having only one connection to TV being HDMI<br />
<br />
'''Prepare the core;'''<br />
<br />
The LAN controller Attansic requires module atl1c. Without it I have kernel panic during an attempt to PXE boot. Way to get the nT330i to work is also described in wiki page http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC, section Modify the media director initial ramdisk.<br />
<br />
cd /<br />
mkdir AR81Family<br />
cd AR81Family<br />
wget http://lnx.sensibile.it/files/foxconn/AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
tar -xvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
<br />
'''Build the atl1c kernel module'''<br />
<br />
Modify .src/makefile changing "DRIVER_NAME = atl1e" to "DRIVER_NAME = atl1c";<br />
<br />
cd src<br />
vim Makefile<br />
<br />
Save the file and start building;<br />
<br />
cd ..<br />
make<br />
make install<br />
<br />
You'll get some error messages but I noticed still atl1c.ko is build. atl1kc is located in ./src<br />
<br />
cp /AR81Family/src/atl1c.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the initial diskless image<br />
<br />
modprobe atl1c<br />
<br />
If the above gives you fatal errors an alternative is: "insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko"<br />
<br />
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh<br />
<br />
'''MD Time'''<br />
<br />
After this you can connect your MD and take it for its first boot.....<br />
<br />
When the initial MD has been created the first boot "real" boot will fail (blue ubuntu bar stops moving) due to the fact the MD image has no atl1c module so we have to add that;<br />
<br />
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko <br />
<br />
<br />
Chroot into the new MD:<br />
<br />
cd /usr/pluto/diskless/<br />
chroot <MD#><br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/modules<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the image;<br />
<br />
depmod<br />
cd /boot<br />
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`<br />
exit<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: do not forget that if you recreate this MD you have to do the above ("MD Time") again before it will fully start.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Finishing off'''<br />
<br />
The system will do a couple of reboots and will at the end put you into AVWizard which does not appear (and do not forget; give it some time). You can check if AVWizard is up by logging in to the MD and run "top". AVWizard should be in the list.<br />
<br />
Tip 1) if you press "3" in AVWizard (HDMI2) and WAIT!!! -> voila!!<br />
<br />
Tip 2) HDMI sound? In alsamixer unmute input IEC958 by pressing "m" if selected.<br />
<br />
'''Extra/Quirks'''<br />
<br />
To have wake on lan working change the setting in the bios for "deep sleep" into disabled and change wake up by PCIE to enabled.<br />
<br />
Within Mythtv the Netbox freezes when jumping forward or backward in a recording. The way to get around this is to add pci=nomsi to the kernel parameters [http://nick.kreucher.net/blog/2010/saga-of-the-tiny-mythtv-frontend-part-i/ Saga of the tiny mythtv frontend] and [http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120710 nvidia forum]<br />
<br />
In a terminal window type:<br />
<br />
ls /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<br />
<br />
You should see a file named after the MAC address of your MD. Edit that file<br />
<br />
sudo vim /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<mac_address><br />
<br />
Inside the file you'll see a line that looks like this:<br />
<br />
APPEND initrd=50/initrd.img ramdisk=10240 rw root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/50 quiet splash<br />
<br />
Modify that line by adding "pci=nomsi" to the end. This will make the line look like this:<br />
<br />
APPEND initrd=<MD#>/initrd.img ramdisk=10240 rw root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#> quiet splash pci=nomsi</div>Murdockhttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=Installing_1004&diff=28768Installing 10042011-10-04T03:34:43Z<p>Murdock: </p>

<hr />
<div>Installing LinuxMCE-1004 is a fairly easy process that involves:<br />
<br />
"THIS VERSION IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT. IT KIND OF WORKS, BUT MAY DRIVE YOU INSANE. :)"<br />
<br />
"PACKAGES ARE BEING BUILT, BUT WE HAVE ONLY BEGUN TO DEBUG THE ISSUES PRESENT. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS UNLESS YOU WISH TO FIX BUGS, AND WILL FIX BUGS WITH US. THANKS."<br />
<br />
"WE WILL NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION AT THIS TIME. DO NOT ASK. IF YOU CAN'T FIX STUFF, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU."<br />
<br />
Since this is a pre-release version, we need your help to make it better. If you notice a problem, please do not just add a workaround here. Create a ticket in trac with plenty of detail on what the issue is and how to reproduce it, as well as any information you have on how to fix it. If there is a workaround, it is ok to post it here as long as you link to the ticket you just created.<br />
<br />
* Installing Kubuntu 1004<br />
* Updating Kubuntu 1004<br />
* Installing LinuxMCE-1004 on top of the updated Kubuntu 1004<br />
<br />
Before proceeding its wise to read the FAQ. <br />
Because of the fact that its a delicate installation small things make a huge difference.<br />
<br />
Please see below for details on Internet Installation and DVD Installation methods.<br />
<br />
'''Note: an active internet connection is required regardless of installation method.<br />
<br />
==Internet Installation==<br />
# Install Lucid Lynx desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 1004 '''desktop''' release from http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/10.04/kubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386.iso<br />
'''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 1004 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions.''' Note: If Kubuntu asks whether you would like to install/activate 'Restricted Drivers' for your video card, ignore it and continue to step 2.<br />
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.<br />
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/new-installer SVN], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.<br />
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.<br />
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).<br />
<br />
In other words, after installing Kubuntu:<br />
sudo -i #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.<br />
apt-get update<br />
apt-get -y dist-upgrade<br />
apt-get -y install subversion<br />
svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/new-installer<br />
cd new-installer<br />
./pre-install-from-repo.sh<br />
./mce-install.sh<br />
./post-install.sh<br />
<br />
reboot<br />
<br />
*For ''' Ui-2 with alpha blending'''* - open a shell and type xfwm4-tweaks-settings. Look for compositing and make sure its enabled. Otherwise compositing will not function properly. (will be corrected when http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1211 is applied)<br />
<br />
If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].<br />
<br />
If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].<br />
<br />
==New Beta Installer==<br />
# Install Kubuntu 1004 as above<br />
# Run the following:<br />
sudo -i<br />
wget -q http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/new-installer/donotuse_mce-install.sh && chmod +x donotuse_mce-install.sh<br />
./donotuse_mce-install.sh<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to use this area to keep track of install time, this isn't horribly scientific, but I want to improve the over all time to install. This is specifically for my setup and hardware and ISP connection. For now I'm benchmarking the shell process - eventually I'd like to look at everything overall. FYI - These timings are on an already up to date system<br />
<br />
* 9/13/2011<br />
# New install shell script - 55 min<br />
# diskless creation - 43 min<br />
<br />
* 9/14/2011<br />
# New shell script - 32 min<br />
<br />
* 9/17/2011<br />
# New shell script (on fresh install of kubuntu) - 48 min<br />

<br />
== Foxconn nT330i - 1004 Setup ==<br />
<br />
Via trac ticket http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1265 - the Foxconn NT330i should now be plug and play for 1004 and should not require any additional steps for configuration.<br />
<br />
1 issue exists at this point - though it exists for all MDs and is not isolated to the foxconn nt330i (if others are detected please open a ticket!):<br />
<br />
1. If using HDMI for video, you still need to hook up a DVI connectable monitor to run through the AVWizard (only hook up the monitor AFTER the bios screen appears)<br />
<br />
== Foxconn nT330i - 810 Setup ==<br />
<br />
Note: <MD#> has to be replaced by the mediadirector number.<br />
<br />
Note: below is based on having only one connection to TV being HDMI<br />
<br />
'''Prepare the core;'''<br />
<br />
The LAN controller Attansic requires module atl1c. Without it I have kernel panic during an attempt to PXE boot. Way to get the nT330i to work is also described in wiki page http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC, section Modify the media director initial ramdisk.<br />
<br />
cd /<br />
mkdir AR81Family<br />
cd AR81Family<br />
wget http://lnx.sensibile.it/files/foxconn/AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
tar -xvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
<br />
'''Build the atl1c kernel module'''<br />
<br />
Modify .src/makefile changing "DRIVER_NAME = atl1e" to "DRIVER_NAME = atl1c";<br />
<br />
cd src<br />
vim Makefile<br />
<br />
Save the file and start building;<br />
<br />
cd ..<br />
make<br />
make install<br />
<br />
You'll get some error messages but I noticed still atl1c.ko is build. atl1kc is located in ./src<br />
<br />
cp /AR81Family/src/atl1c.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the initial diskless image<br />
<br />
modprobe atl1c<br />
<br />
If the above gives you fatal errors an alternative is: "insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko"<br />
<br />
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh<br />
<br />
'''MD Time'''<br />
<br />
After this you can connect your MD and take it for its first boot.....<br />
<br />
When the initial MD has been created the first boot "real" boot will fail (blue ubuntu bar stops moving) due to the fact the MD image has no atl1c module so we have to add that;<br />
<br />
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko <br />
<br />
<br />
Chroot into the new MD:<br />
<br />
cd /usr/pluto/diskless/<br />
chroot <MD#><br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/modules<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the image;<br />
<br />
depmod<br />
cd /boot<br />
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`<br />
exit<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: do not forget that if you recreate this MD you have to do the above ("MD Time") again before it will fully start.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Finishing off'''<br />
<br />
The system will do a couple of reboots and will at the end put you into AVWizard which does not appear (and do not forget; give it some time). You can check if AVWizard is up by logging in to the MD and run "top". AVWizard should be in the list.<br />
<br />
Tip 1) if you press "3" in AVWizard (HDMI2) and WAIT!!! -> voila!!<br />
<br />
Tip 2) HDMI sound? In alsamixer unmute input IEC958 by pressing "m" if selected.<br />
<br />
'''Extra/Quirks'''<br />
<br />
To have wake on lan working change the setting in the bios for "deep sleep" into disabled and change wake up by PCIE to enabled.<br />
<br />
Within Mythtv the Netbox freezes when jumping forward or backward in a recording. The way to get around this is to add pci=nomsi to the kernel parameters [http://nick.kreucher.net/blog/2010/saga-of-the-tiny-mythtv-frontend-part-i/ Saga of the tiny mythtv frontend] and [http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120710 nvidia forum]<br />
<br />
In a terminal window type:<br />
<br />
ls /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<br />
<br />
You should see a file named after the MAC address of your MD. Edit that file<br />
<br />
sudo vim /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<mac_address><br />
<br />
Inside the file you'll see a line that looks like this:<br />
<br />
APPEND initrd=50/initrd.img ramdisk=10240 rw root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/50 quiet splash<br />
<br />
Modify that line by adding "pci=nomsi" to the end. This will make the line look like this:<br />
<br />

<br />
1. If using HDMI audio, the SPDIF output in alsamixer needs to be unmuted<br />

Note: <MD#> has to be replaced by the mediadirector number.<br />
<br />
Note: below is based on having only one connection to TV being HDMI<br />
<br />
'''Prepare the core;'''<br />
<br />
The LAN controller Attansic requires module atl1c. Without it I have kernel panic during an attempt to PXE boot. Way to get the nT330i to work is also described in wiki page http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC, section Modify the media director initial ramdisk.<br />
<br />
cd /<br />
mkdir AR81Family<br />
cd AR81Family<br />
wget http://lnx.sensibile.it/files/foxconn/AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
tar -xvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz<br />
<br />
'''Build the atl1c kernel module'''<br />
<br />
Modify .src/makefile changing "DRIVER_NAME = atl1e" to "DRIVER_NAME = atl1c";<br />
<br />
cd src<br />
vim Makefile<br />
<br />
Save the file and start building;<br />
<br />
cd ..<br />
make<br />
make install<br />
<br />
You'll get some error messages but I noticed still atl1c.ko is build. atl1kc is located in ./src<br />
<br />
cp /AR81Family/src/atl1c.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the initial diskless image<br />
<br />
modprobe atl1c<br />
<br />
If the above gives you fatal errors an alternative is: "insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko"<br />
<br />
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh<br />
<br />
'''MD Time'''<br />
<br />
After this you can connect your MD and take it for its first boot.....<br />
<br />
When the initial MD has been created the first boot "real" boot will fail (blue ubuntu bar stops moving) due to the fact the MD image has no atl1c module so we have to add that;<br />
<br />
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko <br />
<br />
<br />
Chroot into the new MD:<br />
<br />
cd /usr/pluto/diskless/<br />
chroot <MD#><br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/modules<br />
<br />
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save<br />
<br />
vim /etc/initramfs-tools/modules<br />
<br />
Now rebuild the image;<br />
<br />
depmod<br />
cd /boot<br />
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`<br />
exit<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: do not forget that if you recreate this MD you have to do the above ("MD Time") again before it will fully start.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Finishing off'''<br />
<br />
The system will do a couple of reboots and will at the end put you into AVWizard which does not appear (and do not forget; give it some time). You can check if AVWizard is up by logging in to the MD and run "top". AVWizard should be in the list.<br />
<br />
Tip 1) if you press "3" in AVWizard (HDMI2) and WAIT!!! -> voila!!<br />
<br />
Tip 2) HDMI sound? In alsamixer unmute input IEC958 by pressing "m" if selected.<br />
<br />
'''Extra/Quirks'''<br />
<br />
To have wake on lan working change the setting in the bios for "deep sleep" into disabled and change wake up by PCIE to enabled.<br />
<br />
Within Mythtv the Netbox freezes when jumping forward or backward in a recording. The way to get around this is to add pci=nomsi to the kernel parameters [http://nick.kreucher.net/blog/2010/saga-of-the-tiny-mythtv-frontend-part-i/ Saga of the tiny mythtv frontend] and [http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120710 nvidia forum]<br />
<br />
In a terminal window type:<br />
<br />
ls /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<br />
<br />
You should see a file named after the MAC address of your MD. Edit that file<br />
<br />
sudo vim /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<mac_address><br />
<br />
Inside the file you'll see a line that looks like this:<br />

<br />
"WE WILL NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION AT THIS TIME. DO NOT ASK. IF YOU CAN'T FIX STUFF, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU."<br />
<br />
Since this is a pre-release version, we need your help to make it better. If you notice a problem, please do not just add a workaround here. Create a ticket in trac with plenty of detail on what the issue is and how to reproduce it, as well as any information you have on how to fix it. If there is a workaround, it is ok to post it here as long as you link to the ticket you just created.<br />
<br />
* Installing Kubuntu 1004<br />
* Updating Kubuntu 1004<br />
* Installing LinuxMCE-1004 on top of the updated Kubuntu 1004<br />
<br />
Before proceeding its wise to read the FAQ. <br />
Because of the fact that its a delicate installation small things make a huge difference.<br />
<br />
Please see below for details on Internet Installation and DVD Installation methods.<br />
<br />
'''Note: an active internet connection is required regardless of installation method.<br />
<br />
==Internet Installation==<br />
# Install Lucid Lynx desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 1004 '''desktop''' release from http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/10.04/kubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386.iso<br />
'''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 1004 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions.''' Note: If Kubuntu asks whether you would like to install/activate 'Restricted Drivers' for your video card, ignore it and continue to step 2.<br />
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.<br />
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/new-installer SVN], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.<br />
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.<br />
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).<br />
<br />
In other words, after installing Kubuntu:<br />
sudo -i #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.<br />
apt-get update<br />
apt-get -y dist-upgrade<br />
apt-get -y install subversion<br />
svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/new-installer<br />
cd new-installer<br />
./pre-install-from-repo.sh<br />
./mce-install.sh<br />
./post-install.sh<br />
<br />
reboot<br />
<br />
*For ''' Ui-2 with alpha blending'''* - open a shell and type xfwm4-tweaks-settings. Look for compositing and make sure its enabled. Otherwise compositing will not function properly. (will be corrected when http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1211 is applied)<br />
<br />
If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].<br />
<br />
If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].<br />
<br />
==New Alpha Installer - not yet ready for general use==<br />
# Install Kubuntu 1004 as above<br />
# Run the following:<br />
sudo -i<br />
wget -q http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/new-installer/donotuse_mce-install.sh && chmod +x donotuse_mce-install.sh<br />
./donotuse_mce-install.sh<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to use this area to keep track of install time, this isn't horribly scientific, but I want to improve the over all time to install. This is specifically for my setup and hardware and ISP connection. For now I'm benchmarking the shell process - eventually I'd like to look at everything overall. FYI - These timings are on an already up to date system<br />
<br />
* 9/13/2011<br />
# New install shell script - 55 min<br />
# diskless creation - 43 min<br />
<br />
* 9/14/2011<br />
# New shell script - 32 min<br />
<br />
* 9/17/2011<br />
# New shell script (on fresh install of kubuntu) - 48 min<br />
<br />
== Keeping Up-to-date with updates ==<br />
'''Note''' It is strongly recommended that you do not update/upgrade a stable, working system. Also check /etc/apt/sources.list for accuracy after install. [[user:L3mce]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you have installed LinuxMCE-1004, all you need to do to keep up-to-date with the latest and greatest, is run the following from a terminal on the core and each MD:<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
sudo apt-get upgrade<br />
Note: You should NOT run apt-get dist-upgrade after LinuxMCE is installed, as it can cause several problems, including having different kernel versions on your core and media directors, and the installation of new Kubuntu packages that can break some features!<br />
<br />
== Outstanding issues ==<br />
* The diskless image kernel package has a broken dependency.<br />
* Orbiter and OrbiterGen might race a bit<br />
* at least in one occasion the UI1 Orbiter didn't come back from the screen saver when keys and mouse were pressed<br />

<div>Installing LinuxMCE-1004 is a fairly easy process that involves:<br />
<br />
"THIS VERSION IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT. IT KIND OF WORKS, BUT MAY DRIVE YOU INSANE. :)"<br />
<br />
"PACKAGES ARE BEING BUILT, BUT WE HAVE ONLY BEGUN TO DEBUG THE ISSUES PRESENT. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS UNLESS YOU WISH TO FIX BUGS, AND WILL FIX BUGS WITH US. THANKS."<br />
<br />
"WE WILL NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION AT THIS TIME. DO NOT ASK. IF YOU CAN'T FIX STUFF, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU."<br />
<br />
Since this is a pre-release version, we need your help to make it better. If you notice a problem, please do not just add a workaround here. Create a ticket in trac with plenty of detail on what the issue is and how to reproduce it, as well as any information you have on how to fix it. If there is a workaround, it is ok to post it here as long as you link to the ticket you just created.<br />
<br />
* Installing Kubuntu 1004<br />
* Updating Kubuntu 1004<br />
* Installing LinuxMCE-1004 on top of the updated Kubuntu 1004<br />

Once you have installed LinuxMCE-1004, all you need to do to keep up-to-date with the latest and greatest, is run the following from a terminal on the core and each MD:<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
sudo apt-get upgrade<br />
Note: You should NOT run apt-get dist-upgrade after LinuxMCE is installed, as it can cause several problems, including having different kernel versions on your core and media directors, and the installation of new Kubuntu packages that can break some features!<br />

<hr />
<div>==Installing Kubuntu 10.04==<br />
*In the power settings for the host OS disable the screen saver and set it to not go to sleep. <br />
*Ensure that you have 2 virtual nics setup, I have 1 for NAT (eth0) and 1 for Internal (eth1)<br />
*While not a requirement, it's highly advisable to allocate more than 1 CPU and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS for performance<br />
*Insert your Kubuntu 10.04 install disk or download an 32-bit .iso image of Kubuntu 10.04<br />
*Start the virtual machine and Click next at the First Run Wizard<br />
*Choose the drive that your disk is in under Media Source <br />
or<br />
*Click the folder icon to the left of the media source drop-down menu and browse to the .iso image you downloaded earlier<br />
*Click Finish and let the Install disk start and click Install Kubuntu.<br />
*When the installer comes up DO NOT click update this installer.<br />
*Go through the installer choosing the options that best suit you.<br />
*I had trouble with the installer finishing so i skipped the files at the end, it gives you the option to skip around 80% (im going to do more testing to figure out why)<br />
*Reboot<br />
*When kubuntu is loading and the screen turns teal you have to hit esc once and then let it go until the login comes up.<br />
*Bring up a terminal and enter: <br />
*#sudo apt-get update<br />
*#sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <--takes a while, go eat something.<br />
*#sudo apt-get install dkms<br />
*#sudo apt-get install build-essential<br />
*#sudo apt-get remove plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo<br />
*Reboot<br />
*Under the Devices menu at the top click Install Guest Additions<br />
*Open a terminal window and enter:<br />
*#cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.2_69518/ (the numbers may differ for you, just check the name of the cd that was mounted)<br />
*#sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run<br />
*Open the system settings window, click on the advanced tab then on desktop search and uncheck Enable Nepomuk Semantic Desktop. (this will make it less slugish at boot)<br />
*Now is a good time to take a snapshot by going to the Machine menu at the top and clicking Take Snapshot, as you should have a fully functioning OS.<br />
<br />
*Upon installing 1004, during the setup wizard i'd recommend using ui1 instead of 2 as it will slam the VM processor</div>Murdockhttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=User:Murdock&diff=28444User:Murdock2011-08-27T20:19:06Z<p>Murdock: /* 810 Current Issues */</p>

*In the power settings for the host OS disable the screen saver and set it to not go to sleep. <br />
*Ensure that you have 2 virtual nics setup, I have 1 for NAT (eth0) and 1 for Internal (eth1)<br />
*Insert your Kubuntu 10.04 install disk or download an 32-bit .iso image of Kubuntu 10.04<br />
*Start the virtual machine and Click next at the First Run Wizard<br />
*Choose the drive that your disk is in under Media Source <br />
or<br />
*Click the folder icon to the left of the media source drop-down menu and browse to the .iso image you downloaded earlier<br />
*Click Finish and let the Install disk start and click Install Kubuntu.<br />
*When the installer comes up DO NOT click update this installer.<br />
*Go through the installer choosing the options that best suit you.<br />
*I had trouble with the installer finishing so i skipped the files at the end, it gives you the option to skip around 80% (im going to do more testing to figure out why)<br />
*Reboot<br />
*When kubuntu is loading and the screen turns teal you have to hit esc once and then let it go until the login comes up.<br />
*Bring up a terminal and enter: <br />
*#sudo apt-get update<br />
*#sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <--takes a while, go eat something.<br />
*#sudo apt-get install dkms<br />
*#sudo apt-get install build-essential<br />
*#sudo apt-get remove plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo<br />
*Reboot<br />
*Under the Devices menu at the top click Install Guest Additions<br />
*Open a terminal window and enter:<br />
*#cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.2_69518/ (the numbers may differ for you, just check the name of the cd that was mounted)<br />
*#sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run<br />
*Open the system settings window, click on the advanced tab then on desktop search and uncheck Enable Nepomuk Semantic Desktop. (this will make it less slugish at boot)<br />
*Now is a good time to take a snapshot by going to the Machine menu at the top and clicking Take Snapshot, as you should have a fully functioning OS.</div>Murdockhttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=Installing_kubuntu_1004_on_virtualbox&diff=28381Installing kubuntu 1004 on virtualbox2011-08-24T16:54:00Z<p>Murdock: /* Installing Kubuntu 10.04 */</p>

My name is Ryan, my user name is Murdock on both the forum and on IRC. I am located in KC, Missouri. I have been interested in technology all of my life, though for the last year have been reading up on and studying/playing with linux. I watched the google video and made the purchasing decision with Fiire November of 2008 to 710. I have a dev SATA HD I boot up on for testing the newer releases. My setup at home is below. <br />
